WSH Volunteer Spotlight

Posted March 5, 2018

Meet our volunteer, David!

When did you join as a WSH volunteer? I joined Summer of 2017.

Are you a hotline and/or clothesline volunteer? Neither! I am a follow up survey volunteer.

Why did you want to volunteer at the West Seattle Helpline? I was initially intrigued by the volunteer position. I have always been interested in evaluations and conducting surveys. The more I learned about the position and the work that the West Seattle Helpline does, I was excited to be a part of the team.

Why do you like the West Seattle Helpline? I have lived in West Seattle since 2005 and I have really seen the drastic changes that the community has experienced. The West Seattle Helpline is right here in my own neighborhood and they provide a really needed safety net for many in our community.

David is a dedicated member of our volunteer core. He has worked alongside staff to update our follow-up surveys so that we gain information not only to benefit our clients but also to benefit WSH by helping us improve our services for all of our neighbors.
